I've always been surprised there isn't more interest in this game. It's more like UO than any other MMO that has come since. It has practically all the features old shadowclanners found desirable except an orc race. Neither UO or Shadowbane had that either.

There is a theme park portion of the game, but it's not integral to the experience and most quests outside of the tutorial ones which grant special items are stoppable.

April 5th is the launch of the fresh start servers. There's two-- EU and NA. You can only participate if you create a new account and content patches are going to be released progressively until they're caught up with the legacy servers.
